When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.
Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.
He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.
Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”
24.Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2
A.Fall asleep. B.Lose heart.
C.Turn a blind eye. D.Lend a hand.
25.What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids
A.To recycle waste plastics.
B.To make instructive videos.
C.To spread marine knowledge.
D.To appeal for ocean protection.
26.Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels
A.Sympathetic and devoted. B.Initiative and talented.
C.Ambitious and humorous. D.Determined and modest.
27.What does Cash Daniels story imply
A.Passion fuels dreams.
B.Great minds think alike.
C.Helping others is of great fun.
D.Actions speak louder than words.

For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
28.What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior
A.They are interested in acting. B.They are shy with the strangers.
C.They are fond of their playmates. D.They are tired of playing games.
29.What does the author suggest parents do for their kids
A.Design games for them. B.Find them suitable playmates.
C.Play together with them. D.Help them understand social rules.
30.What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4
A.Giving examples. B.Explaining concepts.
C.Providing evidence. D.Making comparisons.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.How Children Adapt to Changes B.How to Be a Role Model for Children
C.How Your Baby Learns to Love D.How to Communicate with Your Kid
D
The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed and are not fixed, which have received a great deal of attention in schools and among researchers.
According to a study, a teacher’s growth mindset acts as a “support” that can draw out a student's growth mindset at the very beginning and make it maintainable and actionable in the classroom. These teachers may convey how, in their classes, mistakes are learning opportunities, not signs of low ability, and back up this view with assignments and evaluations that reward continual improvement. This could encourage a student to continue acting on their growth mindset.
The study analyzed data from the National Study of Learning Mindset, which was an intervention experiment conducted with a sample of ninth-grade students’ math grades. The present focus on math grades is motivated by the fact that students tend to find math challenging and anxiety inducing, and therefore, a growth mindset might help students face those challenges productively.
In the study, researchers show that the positive effect of a short growth-mindset intervention on ninth-grade students’ math grades was concentrated among students whose teachers themselves had growth mindset. They also found that baseline students — serve as a benchmark (基准点) for comparing and evaluating the progress of other students — who reported more fixed mindset in classrooms showed a significantly positive effect on math grades.
Successfully teaching a growth mindset to students lifted math grades overall, but this was not enough for all students to reap the benefits of a growth-mindset intervention. Supportive classroom contexts also mattered.Students who were in classrooms with teachers who approved of more of a fixed mindset did not show gains in their math grades over ninth grade, whereas the same kind of students in classrooms with more growth-mind set teachers showed meaningful gains.
In general, they view the testing and understanding of the causal effect of teacher mindset as the next step for mindset science. Such research will be challenging to carry out, however.
32.What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.How a student's growth-mindset is inspired.
B.Why a teacher's growth mindset is important.
C.How mistakes turn into learning opportunities.
D.Why a student continues acting on growth mindset.
33.What can we learn from the study on ninth-grade students
A.Students were unable to overcome maths challenge.
B.The positive effect was concentrated on all students.
C.The sample size of the experiment was insufficient.
D.Students at baseline were influenced considerably.
34.In the growth-mindset intervention, the teachers' mindset_______.
A.has an influence on the effectiveness
B.is determined by supportive classroom
C.always brings meaningful gains to students
D.plays a decisive role in students' significant gains
35.What is a suitable title for the text
A.The Academic Performance: The Influence of Students’ Mindset
B.Students’ Learning Motivation: The Impact of Teachers’ Mindset
C.Encouraging a Growth Mindset: The Role of Teachers
D.Fixed and Growth Mindset: Their Relationship and Impact

As the trees drop their leaves and frosts advance in, we prepare our homes and ourselves for the winter months. 36 When the seasons change, we know that we have to change our behavior to keep ourselves safe and warm. Our feelings change like the seasons. Laughing, joyful and positive like summer; sad, angry, and hopeless like winter. 37 However, it would not be practical to feel wonderful all the time.
The phrase “emotional wintering” was popularized by Katharine May. She mentions emotional wintering asks us to see our difficult or uncomfortable feelings as winters which we can get ready for and live through. 38
Sometimes the emotional winters are caused by an event that makes us feel as though we want to withdraw into ourselves. 39 We need to take time to replenish (补充) them while accepting that we are sad. Whatever the cause, emotional wintering encourages us to accept that our emotional seasons are normal and we should manage them as best we can.
40 To manage through challenging times, we need to adjust our habits, reassess our expectations of ourselves, and ensure that we sustain ourselves appropriately. This process gives us the space to explore the full range of emotions that make us human, and allows us to safely sit with a feeling, in relative comfort, until it passes.
With the management, we believe we will be well by the time the next summer rolls around.
A.It prepares us for the coming spring.
B.Different emotions come to all of us.
C.Emotional wintering asks us to change.
D.We can grow from challenging experience.
E.Thick socks and cosy blankets are brought out.
F.We expect to always live in our emotional summers.
G.At other times we simply use up our supplies of positivity.

“You’re going to miss the school bus,” mum urged. “One more second, mum. Where’s my maths book ” Once again I dreamed myself back to teens, rushing about, hurrying ready for school. This constant dream has been around me for many years.
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle(通道) to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition(学费). My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis(幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment(入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed: “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
Para.1.
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game.

W: I think the best thing is that they’ve improved the amount of information about train times that’s given to passengers — before there was only one board. But now there is an electronic display panel. Every time I walk to the platform, I can clearly and quickly know when my train will come.
M: That’s good. Anything else
W: Let’s see... One thing is that there aren’t enough places to sit down, especially on the platforms.
M: OK — so I’ll put ‘seating’ down. Thanks for your time.

【答案】17.A 18.B 19.C 20.A
【原文】W: Thank you for attending this public hearing on our new severe weather warning system. I’m Helen Dunley. First, I’d like to remind everyone that the main purpose of a weather warning system is to tell people outdoors to move inside. Now, it’s important to remember that we will test the system every Saturday at noon, so don’t worry about the noise at that time. It’s a good idea to go outside and listen when we test the system and make sure you can hear clearly in your neighborhood. Remember that the loud noise is only one part of the warning system. The loud noise is played by city officials after we receive warnings from the national weather service. In other words, you might hear a warning on the national news before you hear a warning here. If you do hear one, what should you do First, take cover. Our city doesn’t have public shelters, so go to the inside of any building, away from windows. Second, wait for reports on local media. Finally, stay indoors until you hear the all-clear signal.

When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.
Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.
He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.
Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”
24.Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2
A.Fall asleep. B.Lose heart.
C.Turn a blind eye. D.Lend a hand.
25.What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids
A.To recycle waste plastics.
B.To make instructive videos.
C.To spread marine knowledge.
D.To appeal for ocean protection.
26.Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels
A.Sympathetic and devoted. B.Initiative and talented.
C.Ambitious and humorous. D.Determined and modest.
27.What does Cash Daniels story imply
A.Passion fuels dreams.
B.Great minds think alike.
C.Helping others is of great fun.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】24.C 25.D 26.A 27.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲的是Cash Daniels热爱大自然,他从7岁开始就对保护地球充满了热情,他先从清理河流沿岸开始,并将此发展成一项人们可以广泛参与的活动。他被评选为2021年美国十大青年志愿者之一。
24.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词之前“He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t(毕竟,他是在Chattanooga河边钓鱼长大的!但当他了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋后,他就不能再这么做了)”以及第三段开头 “He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors.(他从清理河流开始,这件事很快就从家庭事务变成了志愿者和邻居的社区努力。)”可知当Cash Daniels看到了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋以后,他开始对河流岸边的垃圾进行了清理,最终这件事成为了人们可以广泛参与的活动,由此可以推测Cash Daniels对于最终都进入了海洋的垃圾没有置之不理,而是采取了积极的行动,所以划线词的意思与C项Turn a blind eye(视而不见)意思相近,故选C项。
25.细节理解题。根据文章第三段““We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.(卡什说:“我们想让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系。”)”可知the Cleanup Kids的目的是让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系,即呼吁人们保护海洋。故选D项。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.( Cash现在被称为“环保孩子”,他一直热爱大自然。毕竟,他是在Chattanooga河边钓鱼长大的!但当他了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终进入海洋时,他不能坐视不管。)”可知Cash热爱大自然,关心环境,所以他是富有同情心的,根据文章最后一段““I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”(“我想环游世界,教别人,帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系。因为如果你和海洋有联系——如果你爱它和它的生物——你就会想要保护它,”他说。“这是我的乐趣,随着每一个新发现,它变得更加有趣。”)”可知Cash想要环游世界,教育别人,帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系,所以他是有奉献精神的,故选A项。
27.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.(当大多数孩子去海滩时,他们太专注于堆沙堡和溅水,而没有注意到垃圾,但几年前,对7岁的Cash来说,注意到一根塑料吸管激发了他毕生拯救地球的热情。)”以及文章最后一段““I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”(“我想环游世界,教别人,帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系。因为如果你和海洋有联系——如果你爱它和它的生物——你就会想要保护它,”他说。“这是我的乐趣,随着每一个新发现,它变得更加有趣。”)”以及其他段落的内容可知一根塑料吸管激发了Cash拯救地球的热情而这种热情进而转化成了他的梦想,所以Cash 的故事暗示了激情可以点燃梦想。故选A项。
C
For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
28.What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior
A.They are interested in acting. B.They are shy with the strangers.
C.They are fond of their playmates. D.They are tired of playing games.
29.What does the author suggest parents do for their kids
A.Design games for them. B.Find them suitable playmates.
C.Play together with them. D.Help them understand social rules.
30.What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4
A.Giving examples. B.Explaining concepts.
C.Providing evidence. D.Making comparisons.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.How Children Adapt to Changes B.How to Be a Role Model for Children
C.How Your Baby Learns to Love D.How to Communicate with Your Kid
【答案】28.C 29.D 30.A 31.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幼儿时期友谊对儿童社交能力发展的重要性,并探讨了幼儿表达友谊的方式和可能出现的问题。同时,文章还提供了一些建议和方法,帮助家长在幼儿社交互动中发挥积极作用,培养他们的同情心和表达能力,学会发展友谊。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(此外,蹒跚学步的孩子表现出他们喜欢其他孩子的方式与成年人认为的友谊表达方式明显不同。哥伦布俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现,一个蹒跚学步的孩子在玩耍时说“我喜欢你”的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为)”可知,蹒跚学步的孩子模仿朋友的行为说明他们喜欢玩伴,故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them(通过游戏体验,幼儿学习社交规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中,通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么,来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因,当您制定这些指导方针时,请解释其背后的原因)”可知,作者建议家长在孩子的社交生活中设定限制,并且经常提醒孩子们这些限制,也就是社交规则,帮助孩子理解社交规则,故选D项。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”)(首先帮助孩子学会同情((本在哭。是什么让他这么伤心 ”))”以及“then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”)(然后建议他如何解决这个问题(“如果你让他打球,也许他会感觉好些。”))”可知,这些引用是通过举例说明这两个建议:帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题,故选A项。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation(对很多孩子来说,蹒跚学步是建立友谊的重要时刻。研究表明,孩子们越早学会建立积极的关系,他们在青少年和成年人时期就越善于与他人建立联系。一起玩耍也有助于这些孩子练习社交行为,如友善、分享和合作)”、第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are(通过游戏体验,幼儿学习社会规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中,通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么,来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因)”以及最后一段“Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel.( 另一种鼓励健康社交的方法是鼓励孩子用语言而不是拳头来表达他们的感受。)”可知,本文主要讲的是家长如何帮助孩子学会爱,学会发展友谊,故选C项。
D
The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed and are not fixed, which have received a great deal of attention in schools and among researchers.
According to a study, a teacher’s growth mindset acts as a “support” that can draw out a student's growth mindset at the very beginning and make it maintainable and actionable in the classroom. These teachers may convey how, in their classes, mistakes are learning opportunities, not signs of low ability, and back up this view with assignments and evaluations that reward continual improvement. This could encourage a student to continue acting on their growth mindset.
The study analyzed data from the National Study of Learning Mindset, which was an intervention experiment conducted with a sample of ninth-grade students’ math grades. The present focus on math grades is motivated by the fact that students tend to find math challenging and anxiety inducing, and therefore, a growth mindset might help students face those challenges productively.
In the study, researchers show that the positive effect of a short growth-mindset intervention on ninth-grade students’ math grades was concentrated among students whose teachers themselves had growth mindset. They also found that baseline students — serve as a benchmark (基准点) for comparing and evaluating the progress of other students — who reported more fixed mindset in classrooms showed a significantly positive effect on math grades.
Successfully teaching a growth mindset to students lifted math grades overall, but this was not enough for all students to reap the benefits of a growth-mindset intervention. Supportive classroom contexts also mattered.Students who were in classrooms with teachers who approved of more of a fixed mindset did not show gains in their math grades over ninth grade, whereas the same kind of students in classrooms with more growth-mind set teachers showed meaningful gains.
In general, they view the testing and understanding of the causal effect of teacher mindset as the next step for mindset science. Such research will be challenging to carry out, however.
32.What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.How a student's growth-mindset is inspired.
B.Why a teacher's growth mindset is important.
C.How mistakes turn into learning opportunities.
D.Why a student continues acting on growth mindset.
33.What can we learn from the study on ninth-grade students
A.Students were unable to overcome maths challenge.
B.The positive effect was concentrated on all students.
C.The sample size of the experiment was insufficient.
D.Students at baseline were influenced considerably.
34.In the growth-mindset intervention, the teachers' mindset_______.
A.has an influence on the effectiveness
B.is determined by supportive classroom
C.always brings meaningful gains to students
D.plays a decisive role in students' significant gains
35.What is a suitable title for the text
A.The Academic Performance: The Influence of Students’ Mindset
B.Students’ Learning Motivation: The Impact of Teachers’ Mindset
C.Encouraging a Growth Mindset: The Role of Teachers
D.Fixed and Growth Mindset: Their Relationship and Impact
【答案】32.B 33.D 34.A 35.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究表明,教师成长心态对学生的成长心态以及学习效果有积极的影响。建议教师鼓励学生的成长心态。
32.主旨大意题。根据第二段“According to a study, a teacher’s growth mindset acts as a “support” that can draw out a student’s growth mindset at the very beginning and make it maintainable and actionable in the classroom….This could encourage a student to continue acting on their growth mindset.(根据一项研究,教师的成长心态可以作为一种“支持”,在一开始就可以引出学生的成长心态,并使其在课堂上可维护和可操作。……这可以鼓励学生继续按照他们的成长心态行事)”可知,该段主要通过研究讲述为什么教师的成长心态很重要。故选B项。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段“They also found that baseline students — serve as a benchmark (基准点) for comparing and evaluating the progress of other students — who reported more fixed mindset in classrooms showed a significantly positive effect on math grades.(他们还发现,作为比较和评估其他学生进步的基准的基线学生,在课堂上表现出更固定的心态,对数学成绩有显著的积极影响)”可知那些参与研究的九年级学生中,基线学生受到很大影响。故选D项。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段“In the study, researchers show that the positive effect of a short growth-mindset intervention on ninth-grade students’ math grades was concentrated among students whose teachers themselves had growth mindset.(在这项研究中,研究人员表明,短期成长心态干预对九年级学生数学成绩的积极影响集中在教师自己也有成长心态的学生身上)”可知,在成长心态干预中,教师的心态对干预的效果有影响。故选A项。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed and are not fixed, which have received a great deal of attention in schools and among researchers.(成长心态是一种信念,即智力是可以发展的,而不是固定的,这在学校和研究人员中受到了极大的关注)”及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述研究表明,教师成长心态对学生的成长心态以及学习效果有积极的影响。建议教师鼓励学生的成长心态。C项“Encouraging a Growth Mindset: The Role of Teachers(鼓励成长心态:教师的作用)”概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
As the trees drop their leaves and frosts advance in, we prepare our homes and ourselves for the winter months. 36 When the seasons change, we know that we have to change our behavior to keep ourselves safe and warm. Our feelings change like the seasons. Laughing, joyful and positive like summer; sad, angry, and hopeless like winter. 37 However, it would not be practical to feel wonderful all the time.
The phrase “emotional wintering” was popularized by Katharine May. She mentions emotional wintering asks us to see our difficult or uncomfortable feelings as winters which we can get ready for and live through. 38
Sometimes the emotional winters are caused by an event that makes us feel as though we want to withdraw into ourselves. 39 We need to take time to replenish (补充) them while accepting that we are sad. Whatever the cause, emotional wintering encourages us to accept that our emotional seasons are normal and we should manage them as best we can.
40 To manage through challenging times, we need to adjust our habits, reassess our expectations of ourselves, and ensure that we sustain ourselves appropriately. This process gives us the space to explore the full range of emotions that make us human, and allows us to safely sit with a feeling, in relative comfort, until it passes.
With the management, we believe we will be well by the time the next summer rolls around.
A.It prepares us for the coming spring.
B.Different emotions come to all of us.
C.Emotional wintering asks us to change.
D.We can grow from challenging experience.
E.Thick socks and cosy blankets are brought out.
F.We expect to always live in our emotional summers.
G.At other times we simply use up our supplies of positivity.
【答案】36.B 37.F 38.D 39.G 40.C

36.下文“When the seasons change, we know that we have to change our behavior to keep ourselves safe and warm. Our feelings change like the seasons. (当季节变化时,我们知道我们必须改变我们的行为来保持自己的安全和温暖。我们的情感像季节一样变化。)”提到了情感的变化,选项B中Different emotions是关键词与下文呼应,所以B选项“我们每个人都会有不同的情绪。”能引起下文内容,符合语境。故选B项。
37.上文“Laughing, joyful and positive like summer; sad, angry, and hopeless like winter. (谈笑风生,像夏天一样快乐积极;像冬天一样悲伤、愤怒、绝望。)”提到了夏天和冬天代表的不同情感,下文“However, it would not be practical to feel wonderful all the time. (然而,一直感觉美好是不现实的。)”提到了不可能一直感觉美好,F选项“我们希望永远活在情感的夏天。”与下文构成转折关系,符合语境。故选F项。
38.上文“She mentions emotional wintering asks us to see our difficult or uncomfortable feelings as winters which we can get ready for and live through. (她提到情感过冬要求我们把困难或不舒服的感觉看作是我们可以做好准备并度过的冬天。)”提到了困难或不舒服的感受,选项D中challenging是关键词与上文的difficult or uncomfortable feelings呼应,所以D选项“我们可以从充满挑战的经历中成长。”能承接上文,符合题意。故选D项。
39.下文“We need to take time to replenish (补充) them while accepting that we are sad. (我们需要花点时间来补充它们,同时接受我们的悲伤。) ”提到了补给问题,G选项中的supplie是关键词,是下文的them指代的内容。所以G选项“在其他时候,我们只是用完我们的积极供应。”能引起下文,符合语境。故选G项。
40.下文“To manage through challenging times, we need to adjust our habits, reassess our expectations of ourselves, and ensure that we sustain ourselves appropriately. (为了应对挑战,我们需要调整我们的习惯,重新评估我们对自己的期望,并确保我们适当地维持自己。)”提到了调整、评估等行为,选项C中change是关键词,与下文的adjust呼应,所以C选项“情感过冬要求我们改变”能引起下文,符合题意。故选C项。

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m Li Hua from Class 1, Senior 3. As a loyal listener, I enjoy every minute with Teenage Life, which has become a highlight of my week.
However, I’ve noticed some problems. The programme airs only once a week and mainly focuses on subject learning, which fails to cater for more students and keeps potential fans from tuning in.
To make the show more engaging, I first suggest increasing the frequency to twice a week, which would allow wider coverage and further discussions. Additionally, it is a good idea to explore more interactive and inclusive topics regarding mental health, interpersonal relationships or career guidance.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Looking forward to the improvement.
Your faithfully,
Li Hua

第二节:读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“You’re going to miss the school bus,” mum urged. “One more second, mum. Where’s my maths book ” Once again I dreamed myself back to teens, rushing about, hurrying ready for school. This constant dream has been around me for many years.
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle(通道) to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition(学费). My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis(幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment(入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed: “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
Para.1.
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para.2.
Linda and I accompanied each other all the way.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para.1:
It was exciting to go to school again, but it was no game. I had to balance work, home, and school, and it was a challenge. I had to study hard, take notes, and do homework, just like I did when I was a teenager. But this time, I was a mother and wife, and I had to take care of my family while I was in school. It was a lot of work, but I was determined to do it. I wanted to show my children that education was important and that they could achieve anything they set their minds to.
Para.2:
Linda and I accompanied each other all the way. We were both students again, side by side in class, taking notes, doing homework, and studying together. It was a special bond between us, and it grew even stronger as the semester progressed. We supported each other, cheered each other on, and helped each other when we needed it. It was a journey of growth and learning for both of us, and we were making the most of it.
